I don’t think we are the right people to help you with all this. Don’t get me wrong, I do not want you to turn away from the FOG forums! I just think there are other people and forums out there able to give much better answers to your questions on this specific topic.

@Sebastian-Roth I’ve never had to create a local package mirror before to load OS installation files so I can install the operating system, but I’ll do it this time. All the installation files are included on the cd/dvd ./shrug

I need to add this as a kernel argument on boot to use a preseed file. Can I do that with imgargs?

The NFS logs aren’t saying that anything has initiated a connection attempt when I load Debian over PXE. I’m using the debian full dvd iso, that should have the packages locally already. I’ve used fog before and I was pretty sure that was why you would mount an NFS share (to load the packages). The kernel boots without the NFS share. If this isn’t what the NFS share is for in the example can you please enlighten me?

@coreyman Please post a picture of the message when it tells you to “select a mirror”. I am guessing that these are two different things. One is the installer system located on the NAS being loaded on bootup. I guess this is working properly because it would fail to boot up otherwise. The mirror selection within the installer system is something different. I don’t think this can be influenced using kernel/imgargs parameters.

You need to read up on how to impose a local package mirror (usually HTTP not NFS) to the installer! I am sure you will find many posts on this topic on the web.
